Neville Hints England Career Was A Waste Of Time

Gary Neville has suggested that his England career was a bit of a waste of time because of the lack of success they had.

After winning eight Premier League titles, one European Cup, three FA Cups and two League Cups with United, he feels a void left by the failure with England.

“The fact of the matter is that when you play 85 times and in five major tournaments, and you don’t get past the semi-final or win a tournament – maybe ‘waste of time’ is too strong – but if I played for Manchester United for 15 or 20 years and did not win a trophy, I’d say that was a waste of time,” he said. “The expectation that Sir Alex Ferguson puts in at Old Trafford is that it’s not acceptable not to win. To go through that career with United and win trophies consistently, and then have this big void which is England – that to me is like I’ve wasted an opportunity. That’s probably a better phrase to use.”

Proverb
I try and launch a bit of passion. Im quite happy to be the brunt of peoples attacks as long as it gets people talking and up the hits on the blog. Once people get used to posting even if it is just to attack me then there is a chance they get used to the idea and make friends that they stay. Im big enough and ugly enough to take the abuse, its just a shame so few are even man enough to give it. Must be the modern gaytarddom.
